with

 

care,

 

the

 

batteries

 

contain

 

strong

 

acids.

 

z

 

Avoid

 

contact

 

with

 

the

 

battery

 

fluid

 

agent.

 

z

 

If

 

come

 

in

 

contact

 

with

 

battery

 

fluid,

 

one

 

should

 

rinse

 

the

 

affected

 

parts

 

of

 

the

 

body

 

or

 

clothing

cold

 

water

 

and

 

seek

 

medical

 

attention

 

immediately.

 

z

 

Be

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

device

 

has

 

a

 

firm

 

foundation.

 

z

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

sharp

 

or

 

hard

 

objects

 

to

 

clean

 

the

Electrical

 

Cables

 

 

If

 

cables

 

have

 

to

 

be

 

fed

 

through

 

metal

 

walls

 

or

 

other

 

walls

 

with

 

sharp

 

edges,

 

use

 

ducts

 

or

 

wire

 

bushings

 

to

 

prevent

 

damage.

 

 

z

 

Lay

 

the

 

cables

 

so

 

that

 

other

 

people

 

will

 

not

 

trip

 

over

 

them.

 

z

 

Do

 

not

 

lay

 

cables

 

which

 

are

 

loose

 

or

 

bent

 

next

 

to

 

electrically

 

conductive

 

materials.

 

z

 

Do

 

not

 

pull

 

the

 

cables.

 

z

 

Fasten

 

the

 

cables

 

properly.

 

z

 

Lay

 

the

 

cables

 

so

 

that

 

they

 

can

 

not

 

be

 

easily

 

damaged.

 

z

 

Always

 

use

 

sockets

 

that

 

are

 

grounded

 

and

 

secured

 

by

 

earth

 

leakage

 

circuit

 

breaker.

 

z

 

Only

 

a

 

specialist

 

should

 

make

 

the

 

electrical

 

connections.

 

z

 

Do

 

not

 

lay

 

the

 

115VAC/230VAC

 

line

 

and

 

the

 

12VDC

 

in

 

the
